Biodegradable fluids

February 10, 2011

Commonwealth Oil Corp. has announced the release of a new product line of readily biodegradable synthetic functional fluids. It is looking for qualified distributors with the appropriate channels of distribution to serve the global market.

BioComm biodegradable synthetic ester functional fluids consist of concrete forming fluids, heavy-duty gear and hydraulic oils, and ram-type EDM fluids. The company also expects to announce additional products in the near future for other types of industrial applications.

These products primarily are intended for severe, extreme-temperature applications, such as excessive heat or arctic temperature conditions as low as -58 degrees F, or where sensitive environmental issues must be considered, such as marine, rail, and oil platform applications.

All products meet the criteria for “readily biodegradable,” meaning the products biodegrade to their natural state within 28 days when exposed to sunlight, water, and microbial activity.
